New Windsor council approves purchase of used generator for Hillside Well
Summary
The council authorized the purchase of a used generator (from Taneytown Fire Department via Rodkey Electric) not to exceed $22,850 to provide backup for Hillside Well, which the minutes say supplies about 50% of the town’s water.
The New Windsor Town Council authorized the purchase of a used backup generator for Hillside Well at its Dec. 16, 2024, work session.
The meeting minutes state Hillside Well supplies about 50% of the town’s water and that a power outage of three to four hours would “take a significant hit” on the well’s performance. A used generator offered by Rodkey Electric, reported to be sourced from the Taneytown Fire Department and described in the minutes as five years old with approximately 1,050 hours, was identified as available.
Councilmember William Holl moved to purchase the generator at a price not to exceed $22,850; Councilmember Kevin Cornick seconded the motion, and the council approved it by a recorded vote of 5-0. The minutes do not include delivery, installation, warranty, or financing details.
